About Education & Care Service
Education & Care Services are mainstream early learning centres that offer full-day or part-day care with a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a focus on learning through play. They cater to families needing flexible childcare options and wanting a balanced approach that supports social, physical, and early academic development in a diverse environment.
What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?
20 Hours ECE is a government-funded initiative that helps reduce the cost of early childhood education for families with tamariki aged 3–5. Eligible children can receive up to 20 hours of funded care and education each week at participating services. Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees. If you are unsure how this works at Active Explorers Shakespeare Street, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Our daughter has not long started and is thriving with the amazing outside area arts crafts and music.the teachers and older children have been so helpful”
“This Preschool is by far the best Greymouth has on offer, and you can take that from us as we’ve tried a few. My daughter started here when she was 2. We had tried other centres but there values didn’t align with ours. We are so grateful we continued our search as this pre school is perfect for us. The teachers are welcoming, down to earth and amazing at their jobs. You can tell these teachers are very educated in their rolls and they work fantastically as a team. We have now been going to Active Explorers for a year now and if I could keep my daughter their through her primary school years too I would. I can’t fault this centre in anyway and am so grateful we found them.”
